Backyard Spring Symphony
This afternoon, I was sitting outside on our patio for the
first time this year. Gina has been out
of town at a Women’s Conference and I was enjoying wonderful spring weather, take-out
Chinese, a book and abundant sunshine.
At one point, I closed my eyes and reveled in the moment and
listened.... In a matter of moments, I heard
a siren, several different birds calling out, a train’s lonesome horn, the wind
through the trees with some old fall leaves clattering through our
carport. As I listened more intently, I
heard a plane overhead, our neighbor’s wind chime, a motorcycle’s throaty roar,
the voices of children from a neighborhood away calling out, and a couple of
dogs in the distance barking. This was
the background music of my peaceful moment.
At first, I was tempted to call it noise, but these sounds were not
obnoxiously vying for my attention and they did not tyrannize the moment. What I was hearing did not disrupt the wonderful feel of the sun after what has seemed a long
winter’s grip. The truth was that I had
not really heard them at all until I paused to listen. In reality, all of these "instruments" were forming a soundtrack
to my spring moment.
I know that on some days my ADD would not allow me this
kind of peaceful meditation, but today, the song was serenity and the symphony
of different instruments were somehow all in the same key. I thanked the Lord, enjoyed the moment and
just hummed along to the beautiful spring-time tune in my backyard.
